KIN VILLAGE - WINTER

KIN Village is a ‘drop and leave’ school holiday program for 6-12 year olds, that allows children to freely explore their world and community with the support of Nature Educators and Mentors.

Each session runs from 9am to 4pm and costs $83 per child. This cost includes morning tea. We have an average staff to child ratio of 1:8. All staff have a Working with Children Check, with at least two staff at each session being first aid trained and at least one with water rescue qualifications (where applicable).

These holidays, for KIN Village Winter at Hamilton Hill, we will be focusing on rain and cubbies. A cubby is a place to hide and remove yourself from the hectic world; a place of sanctuary and fantasy. Children are invited to join in with hut and shelter creations, nature exploration, carpentry, music and a lot of fun! If it rains, we can wear raincoats and delight in playing with falling water or embrace the excitement of testing a waterproof cubby.

Our Nature Educators resource the space with objects and tools children might need to live out their adventure. They provide mentoring that observes and listens to children in order to guide suggestions, resources and skill building to help them achieve their goals. The program is designed to follow children’s natural energy levels throughout the day so that children work as a team without feeling forced or held back. Children feel they are truly heard and acknowledged and are therefore more open to be guided into nature connection by our mentors.

Please note that children must have turned 6 years of age to attend KIN Village.
